Relation of summit deformation to east rift zone eruptions on Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii

Journal Article · · Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
An inverse relationship exists between the summit deflation of Kilauea, as recorded by summit tilt, and the elevation of associated eruptive vents on the East Rift Zone. This relationship implies that East Rift eruptions drain the summit magma reservior to pressure levels that are dependent on the elevation of the eruptive vents.
